Precautions
Avoid staring directly at the laser beam for prolonged periods.
The TruPulse® 200L is designed to meet FDA eye safety requirements and is
classified as eye-safe to Class 1 limits, which means that virtually no hazard is
associated with directly viewing the laser output under normal conditions. As
with any laser device, however, reasonable precautions should be taken in its
operation. It is recommended that you avoid staring into the transmit aperture
while firing the laser. The use of optical instruments with this product may
increase eye hazard.
Never attempt to view the sun through the scope.
Looking at sun through the scope may permanently damage your eyes.
Never point the unit directly at the sun.
Exposing the lens system to direct sunlight, even for a brief period, may
permanently damage the internal components.
Avoid direct sun exposure on the eyepiece.
Exposing the eyepiece to direct sunlight can damage the internal display.
Do not expose the instrument to extreme temperatures.
TruPulse® 200L components are rated for a temperature range of -4 to +140° F
(-20 to +60° C). Do not expose the instrument to temperatures outside this
range whether in use or in storage.

Understanding How the TruPulse 200L Works
The TruPulse 200L consists of a laser range sensor, an integrated tilt sensor, and a digital
processor. The TruPulse 200L has three buttons that access the unit's internal software,
which controls the integrated sensors.
Laser Range Sensor
The laser range sensor emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. The TruPulse
200L determines distance by measuring the time it takes for each pulse to travel from the
indicator is displayed whenever the laser is
rangefinder to the target, and back. The
being transmitted. The laser may be active for a maximum of 5 seconds. Once the target
is acquired or the laser has timed out, you can release the FIRE button. The TruPulse
200L has a broad spectrum of sensitivity and can work with both reflective and nonreflective targets.
Targets
When selecting a target, you should consider the following:
•
•
•
•
Color: The brighter the color, the longer the range.
Finish: Shiny finishes provide longer range than dull finishes.
Angle: Shooting perpendicular to a target provides better range than
shooting to a target at a sharp angle.
Lighting Conditions: Overcast skies will increase the unit's maximum
range, and sunny skies will decrease the unit's maximum range.
Section 1 - Introducing the LTI TruPulse 200L
Page 5
Tilt Sensor
The integrated tilt sensor measures vertical angles that the TruPulse 200L uses to
calculate height and elevation and to determine slope-reduced horizontal distances. The
instrument held level is at 0°, and is rotated up through +90° and down through -90°.
 •
•
The laser is not active in the Inclination
Measurement Mode.
Generally, the inclination is measured when you press
. However
in (1) the Continuous Target Mode and (2) in the Height Measurement
Mode, the inclination reading appears in the Main Display and the
display updates as your aiming point changes as long as you press
In these two situations, the measured inclination is based upon the
aiming point when you release
.
Digital Processor
The TruPulse 200L includes LTI's proprietary ASIC chip (Application-Specific
Integrated Circuit). The ASIC chip combined with high-speed CPU processing
allows the TruPulse 200L to deliver accurate and fast measurements.

the TruPulse 200L monitors both system hardware and measurements.
When the instrument detects an error condition, it displays and error
code instead of a measurement.
Error codes appear in the main display and are in the form of “Exx”,
where “xx” is an error code number. Figure #7 shows an example error
code, E36.

Percent Slope
Percent slope, indicated by , is a calculation equal to 100 times the tangent of the
inclination angle. It is a variant way of expressing the inclination. You can get percent
slopes only in the basic measurement displays, never in the Height measurement displays.
Note also that the instrument never downloads a percent slope. It always downloads the
inclination angle.

An inclination angle of 5 degrees for example is equal to a slope of
about 8.75 percent.

Height Routine
Height Measurements involve a
simple routine that prompts you

Horizontal Distance, Inclination
Angle base and Inclination Angle top.
The TruPulse 200L uses these results
to calculate the height of the target.

The Vertical 2D Missing Line Routine calculates distances and angles to describe the
relationship between two points in two-dimensional space (connecting vector). This
routine is ideal for remote slope determinations and changes in elevation from one
location.
The simple routine prompts you to take two shots to targets: "Shot 1” and “Shot 2”.
The TruPulse uses the results to calculate four variables between the two points:
slope distance, inclination, horizontal distance, and vertical distance as shown in
